2x-6-\left(2-x\right)=7
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
2x-6-2-\left(-x\right)=7
To find the opposite of 2-x, find the opposite of each term.
2x-6-2+x=7
The opposite of -x is x.
2x-8+x=7
Subtract 2 from -6 to get -8.
3x-8=7
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x=7+8
Add 8 to both sides.
3x=15
Add 7 and 8 to get 15.
x=\frac{15}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=5
Divide 15 by 3 to get 5.
